Official title
A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Praliciguat in Patients With Biopsy-Confirmed Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Overview
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of praliciguat in adults with biopsy-confirmed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive praliciguat or placebo for initial 24 week treatment period. Following this double-blind period, all participants will receive praliciguat in an open-label extension for an additional 24 weeks.
Interventions
- Drug Praliciguat
Oral Tablet - Other Placebo
Oral Tablet
Primary outcome measures
- Change from Baseline in urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) [Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and up to Week 24]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Percentage of Participants with Partial Remission at Week 24 [Time frame: Up to Week 24]
- Plasma concentrations of praliciguat [Time frame: Week 24, Week 32, and Week 36]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- UPCR ≥1 (g/g) during screening.
- On maximally tolerated ACEi or ARB per principal investigator discretion within 1 month of informed consent.
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥25 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meters by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
- Kidney biopsy collected within 5 years of screening consistent with FSGS or kidney biopsy collected ≥5 years prior to screening consistent with FSGS plus the presence of a pathogenic gene mutation known to be associated with FSGS.
Exclusion criteria
